A hero falls in "Civil War"

Well, it was worth the wait.

Marvel's “Civil War” No. 4 finally came out today. I couldn’t resist: I turned immediately to the last page to see if there was a major twist as in the past two issues.

There is a pretty good one, but there are also major revelations throughout the story, including the death of a hero, some key information about the return of the mighty Thor, a major miscalculation by Reed Richards and a decisive action by his wife, Sue.

It’s a tough book, in a way: It’s not fun to read about our favorite Marvel heroes turning on each other. But it is compelling.
